Emperor's Grace

Three days later, the imperial decree that He Huailing was transferred to be the chief soldier of Qiongguan, and [-] elite soldiers were drawn from the two battalions of Jingbei and Jingnan to accompany him, had already been sent to Dingyuan Hou's mansion. He Huailing calmly accepted the order and left it for him to prepare for the trip The time is less than ten days.

Before leaving Beijing, Zhu Yunxuan visited Zhuangzi again to see Zhu Yunjing. Zhu Yunjing's body has been around for nearly eight months. Because she has been well-fed and not restrained deliberately, her stomach has grown very big. Even walking is difficult.When Zhu Yunxuan heard that he was going to the border with He Huailing, she was angry and impatient, and said a lot of good and bad things. I only wish that with Yunjing's personality, she would not change things easily after she made a decision, and she still insisted on going.

Zhu Yunxuan really couldn't understand: "Even if it's a few months later, after giving birth and your body recovers, can't you go there again?"

Zhu Yunjing lowered her eyes, and raised her hand to gently stroke her magnificent belly. After a long time, she sighed quietly: "Ah Xuan, I will be lonely too... I have never had a child, and I never thought of it before. Today, when that day arrives, I will also be afraid..."

I don't know if it was influenced by the child in his womb. Even if he didn't want to admit it, the existence of He Huailing did give him great comfort in surviving. Without He Huailing, even if he survived by luck, his life would be even more difficult than it is now , more lonely.

Zhu Yunxuan was at a loss for words, he couldn't replace He Huailing, even if he wanted to, it would not be easy for him to go out of the palace to see Zhu Yunjing once, let alone accompany him all the time, and stay by his side during childbirth: "...then what if something happens along the way?" What about an accident?"

"It's okay," Zhu Yunjing smiled slightly, "I will be careful, I cherish my life so much, how can I let something happen to me."

"Then when will you come back after leaving with him?"

Zhu Yunjing said: "I don't know, maybe three years, maybe five years, it depends on how long His Majesty will let him stay there, or maybe I get bored of staying there and go to another place .”

Zhu Yunxuan said in his heart that only ghosts would believe it. Seeing that you are so obviously inseparable from that Marquis of Dingyuan, it is really terrible. He hated iron for being weak: "Go and live with Marquis Dingyuan for the rest of your life!"

That day Zhu Yunxuan went back angrily and anxiously, but one day before they left Beijing, he asked someone to quietly send a box of things to Dingyuanhou's residence.He Huailing handed it over to Zhu Yunjing. Zhu Yunjing opened it and looked at it, then burst out laughing.

The upper layer of the box is full of precious medicinal materials, the middle layer is extremely precious jade pearls, and the lower layer is rows of gold ingots. These golds alone are enough for Zhu Yunjing to buy in the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhuangzi, the shop and the land lived comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"Ah Xuan is afraid that I will have no money to spend when I go out, so he sent me money." Zhu Yunjing was filled with emotion. There were so many rare things in the East Palace in the past, and most of the good things in Zhu Yunxuan's place were actually given by him, otherwise Zhu Yunxuan, an ordinary prince who has just entered the court, can't afford so much gold and treasures, but he has the heart, it is enough.

He Huailing was a little speechless, Zhu Yunjing sighed to himself: "The thing I'm most worried about when I go to the border is A Xuan, but unfortunately I can't catch Zhu Yunxun and the others, and I don't know if A Xuan can deal with them. After all, he is single and weak.”

He Huailing said: "...I have arranged for people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the influence of King Qi over there, and they may gain something, but this matter should not be rushed, and it would be bad to startle the snake."

"Well," Zhu Yunjing said indifferently, "It would be great if Ah Xuan can win, but if he can't win, it's fate."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic," He Huailing comforted him, "Your Majesty is in his prime, and there is still time, so you can take your time."

Zhu Yunjing stopped talking, and her eyes fell on a winter plum blossoming in full bloom in the snow by the window. After a pause, He Huailing asked him with a smile: "Does your Highness think that flower is beautiful?"

Zhu Yunjing nodded slightly, the plum blossom tree was specially planted by He Huailing by the window before winter, the color is very beautiful, it has been blooming brilliantly these few days, but it is a pity that they will leave tomorrow.

He Huailing said again: "If you like it, I'll ask someone to plant it for you when you get to the border."

Zhu Yunjing remained silent, and after a long while, she chuckled: "Your Majesty is very interested, His Majesty ordered you to guard the border, but you want to plant trees and flowers for me."

"You have to live when you go to the border. Who told you that you can't live a good life when you go there?"

Zhu Yunjing smiled and curled her lips, quite disapproving, going to the Border Pass?forget it.

He Huailing took out the snacks he just bought: "To Xiangzhai, I won't be able to eat them when I leave the capital tomorrow, so I bought some more for you."

Zhu Yunjing ate a piece and didn't say it was good or bad. He Huailing always thought that he liked the dim sum in this shop, and would buy it for him from time to time. In fact, his taste was different from when he first got pregnant. , but He Huailing was willing to buy it, so he just kept it.

He Huailing's fingers wiped away the pastry crumbs from the corner of Zhu Yunjing's mouth, Zhu Yunjing raised his eyes and glanced at him, He Huailing blinked with him, with a smile in his eyes.

Early the next morning, He Huailing bid farewell to his family and embarked on the road to the border.

Since He Huailing had no family members, he brought a lot of family members with him because he was going to a post instead of going to war. He asked his generals to lead the [-] troops on the road first, but he was one step behind.

Not long after leaving the city, a low-key and unremarkable carriage merged into the convoy. He Huailing got off the horse and got into the car. Zhu Yunjing was taking a nap in the car with a hand warmer in his arms. He opened his eyes only when he heard the movement. eyes on him.

He Huailing looked at Zhu Yunjing's face. After changing his appearance, he covered up his original too outstanding and unforgettable appearance. He Huailing felt a little uncomfortable and asked him: "Are you still used to it?"

"It's okay," Zhu Yunjing frowned, "it's just a little uncomfortable sticking to the face."

"Just bear with it. It is inevitable that someone will recognize you in the Gyeonggi area. You don't have to do this when you get to the border."

Zhu Yunjing snorted twice with her nose, what else could she do.He lay down, tucked into the thick blanket, with several leather mattresses under his body, but the car was still bumpy and uncomfortable when driving, even if he knew this beforehand, he could only endure it, and he couldn't regret it just after he started the road.

Seeing Zhu Yunjing shrinking in further and further, even his head was almost buried in the blanket, He Huailing was very helpless, and raised his hand to gently rub the top of his hair: "Your Highness..."

Zhu Yunjing should not answer, He Huailing called him again: "Your Highness."

After shouting several times in a row, Zhu Yunjing finally revealed his eyes from under the blanket, and looked at him displeasedly: "What are you doing?"

The real culprit, He Huailing laughed, and rubbed him again: "Your Highness, I will change your identity and name for you after you leave the capital. Have you thought about what your name will be after you decide?"

"...Do I have to change it?"

"It has to be replaced."

Zhu Yunjing lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Evening Sparrow."

He Huailing didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"Xi Sparrow, my mother gave me a nickname. She said that I was born at dusk. When she gave birth to me, she heard sparrows outside, so she chose this name."

Zhu Yunjing's eyeballs rolled back and forth, a little ashamed to say, it was just a nickname given to him by his mother, but he was not willing to give up just like that.When his mother died, he was still young, and he didn't remember many things. His mother's gentle and laughing voice called him "Evening Sparrow" one after another in his ear, but the memory was deep.

"Xi Sparrow," He Huailing chewed these two words repeatedly, and the more he read it, the more he liked it, "It's very good, it's a good name, but, do many people know this name? Where's Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yunjing explained in a low voice: "The name was chosen by my mother. Only she would call me that in private, but not in front of His Majesty. Even if Your Majesty knew it, I would have forgotten it. The reason for the name is that I grew up. I heard something from the nanny, and no one mentioned this name after the nanny passed away."

"Well, what about the last name?"

"... Let the surname be Xie." It has nothing to do with the former Xie Guogong's mansion, Zhu Yunjing thought, it's just a surname with his mother's queen.

"As long as you feel good."

He Huailing patted his head reassuringly, Zhu Yunjing retracted his head again, and a voice came from under the blanket: "Where are you patting the dog?"

He Huailing leaned over, hugged Zhu Yunjing into his arms through the blanket, lowered his head and rubbed his hair with his lips, and called him softly: "Queer."

"Don't shout." Zhu Yunjing said softly.

"Finch."

Zhu Yunjing: "..."

He Huailing chuckled, and suddenly remembered what Zhu Yunxun said before, that Zhu Yunjing was just like that canary, extremely delicate, although Zhu Yunxun's words were really malicious, but it was a prophecy.

His Xiqueer is indeed delicate and lovable.

Zhu Yunjing was a little depressed, she would have known better not to talk about it.

He Huailing touched his stomach, the little guy in his stomach seemed to have just woken up, very excited, chasing He Huailing's hand to respond, punching and kicking non-stop, Zhu Yunjing groaned in pain, took his stomach He has no choice but to stare at He Huailing: "...don't touch it."

"Okay, okay, don't touch."

He Huailing suppressed a smile and withdrew her hands, and hugged Zhu Yunjing's shoulders. Zhu Yunjing was too lazy to move, and leaned on him to find a comfortable position and narrowed her eyes.

Afraid that Zhu Yunjing would feel uncomfortable and not in a hurry, He Huailing ordered the team to slow down. Zhu Yunjing gradually fell asleep while swaying, and He Huailing talked to him casually: "You are the first time Are you leaving Beijing?"

"Well, thanks to you."

"What do you want to do when you go to the border?"

"Riding horses, hunting, and grazing." Anyway, don't be romantic.

He Huailing laughed lightly: "Do you still want to herd?"

Zhu Yunjing closed her eyes and muttered: "It's fun, I haven't played it before."

"Are you so playful?"

Obviously, they are all the people who want to be the father of the child.

"There's nothing fun in the palace."

He Huailing nodded, that's true, Zhu Yunjing was probably suffocated since he was a child, and he has never even seen the most famous Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the capital, so it's pitiful. good thing.

"There are still many fun things, and I will accompany you in the future."

He Huailing looked down, Zhu Yunjing had already fallen asleep peacefully in his arms.After watching quietly for a moment, he leaned against his lower body and placed a light kiss on Zhu Yunjing's lips.
